FILTER BY STATUS:
Living with Anxiety study
We’re inviting people who have experienced an anxiety disorder to take part in a research study. The study aims to better understand how our genes may influence anxiety and how people respond to common medications used to treat it. By collecting survey responses from 5,000 people with anxiety, researchers hope to uncover genetic factors linked to treatment outcomes. This could lead to more effective, personalised treatment options in the future.
Parenting support for parents of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities
We are looking for families of children (0-10 years old) diagnosed with any neurodevelopmental disability (including autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, FASD etc.) or developmental delay to take part in the trial of an online parenting support program PACT Online.
Engagement in Mindfulness Practice Among Individuals with Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain
Researchers from the University of Sydney want to learn more about how and why some people with chronic musculoskeletal pain choose to engage in certain health and wellness practices, such as mindfulness meditation. The survey includes a mix of multiple-choice and open-ended questions and will take approximately 10 to 20 minutes to complete.
Understanding Health Needs During Climate Crises
This study is part of a PhD project and aims to explore healthcare consumers’ lived experiences during climate-related disasters, such as heatwave, tropical storms, floods and bushfires in Australia. Information collected in this study will allow us to understand the gap in the current health system in responding to climate-related disasters.
Physical activity and sedentary behaviour of mothers and children of South Asian origin
The aim of this study is to investigate the practices, barriers, and enablers related to physical activity and sedentary behaviour among South Asian mothers and their children aged 2–12 years.
HARMON-E group-based online trial for people living with depression or bipolar disorder
Researchers at the Food and Mood Centre at Deakin University are looking for volunteers to participate in the HARMON-E trial that aims to compare the effectiveness of two mental health programs for improving depressive symptoms. One program is run by allied health professionals and the other by registered psychologists.
Love Your Brain – A digital health platform for preventing stroke
Love Your Brain is a free digital platform developed by Monash University, Stroke Foundation, and the Menzies Institute for Medical Research at the University of Tasmania to empower people to take action to prevent stroke.
The platform is designed to increase awareness of stroke risk factors and encourage simple steps towards better health – using evidence-based content via emails, text messages or an online course.
Setting priorities for research on the effects of Climate Change on Health Outcomes and Systems
The project aims to identify priorities for research on the effects of climate change on health and health systems in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.
TOPS – The Osteoarthritis Prevention Study
TOPS (The Osteoarthritis Prevention Study) is a 48-month study aiming to help researchers discover whether diet and exercise can prevent knee osteoarthritis in women aged 50 years or older.
Pelvic Pain in Men
Researchers from The University of Queensland want to better understand pelvic pain in men. Your participation will offer new insight into pelvic pain and has the potential to provide a new foundation for future clinical trials that can ultimately improve clinical management.
